A security source said: “Gunmen recently invaded the BUA road construction site along Bode Saadu/Kaiama Road. On December 1, 2025, between 11pm and 4am, they attacked the site which is located less than 2 kilometers away from the village of Bielesin/Fallah and close to another village called Olokiti.”
The source added: “The gunmen fired sporadic gunshots for about 2 to 3 hours before abducting two Chinese Nationals working with the company. As at today, there is no information from the gunmen.“
No casualty was reported as well, except for these two Chinese Nationals who were taken away to an unknown destination.
“The incident contributes to the rising wave of kidnappings in the state. Earlier today, six farmers were reportedly abducted after gunmen invaded the Lata community in Patigi Local Government Area.
It was gathered that the armed men entered the farmlands on Wednesday morning, abducting the farmers who were working on their fields.
A source said: “They came very early in the morning while the farmers were busy. They took all six of them into the bush, and up till now, there is no update about their whereabouts.”
Another resident described a separate incident on Tuesday, where bandits allegedly drove labourers from a farm and stole a seven-month-old Haojue motorcycle belonging to a local businessman.
The growing wave of violence has heightened fear across Kwara South and Kwara North, where residents report that terrorists now move unchecked through their communities.
